Stephen K Amos: Now We're Talking! review – convivial good fun keeps the laughter flowing

Stephen K Amos Brings Laughter and Wit to His Latest Touring Show

At its core, Stephen K Amos's "Now We're Talking!" is an exercise in good fun. The veteran comedian's 75-minute show is all about laughter, but not just the kind that comes with a well-crafted punchline – it's also the kind that arises from our shared human experiences and societal quirks.

While the show may not be the most adventurous or groundbreaking, its confidence lies in its ability to connect with audiences through relatable observations and orthodox opinions on modern society. From social media's impact on our lives to the absurdity of casual racism and dumbed-down modernity, Amos tackles these topics with a witty and engaging tone that leaves listeners chuckling.

A common thread throughout the show is Amos's willingness to poke fun at himself and his own experiences growing up as the son of Nigerian immigrants in the UK. His anecdotes about navigating harsh parental discipline, TV limitations, and a strict curfew are both poignant and amusing – and serve as a clever contrast to the carefree world we live in today.

Of course, some may find Amos's reliance on "funny-accent" humor to be a bit cheap, but it's undeniable that his routine about an African newcomer encountering a meat raffle is side-splittingly funny. Other highlights include his take on the Dunning-Kruger effect and his clever sketches of 1970s home economics classes.

What sets Amos apart, however, is his genuine interest in the science behind laughter. By exploring topics like the amygdala and endorphins, he provides a thoughtful perspective on what makes us laugh – and why we find certain things so hilarious. This newfound focus might make "Now We're Talking!" an interesting case study for fellow comedians looking to incorporate scientific insights into their acts.

Ultimately, Amos's show is not about pushing the boundaries of comedy or challenging societal norms; it's simply a joyous celebration of laughter and human connection. And if that's what we're here for, then "Now We're Talking!" delivers on its promise of convivial good fun.

I think Stephen K Amos is killing it with his new show! His ability to find humor in the everyday and relate it to our modern society is so refreshing . I love how he pokes fun at himself and shares those hilarious anecdotes about growing up as a Nigerian immigrant in the UK - it's like we're all laughing together over a cup of tea ️. The science behind laughter is actually pretty fascinating, and it adds this whole new layer to his comedy . For me, it's not about being edgy or pushing boundaries, but about bringing people together with good old-fashioned laughter .

he sounds like he's really funny , love how he makes fun of social media and casual racism tho , but some ppl might think his accent humor is cheap, idk man , anyway i'm gonna check out his show "Now We're Talking!"

 

[Talented Tapir]

Amos is like the British equivalent of Trevor Noah - just poking fun at life without going too deep , but honestly, sometimes I find his accent thing a bit cringy ... and what's with the meat raffle sketch? feels like he's relying on stereotypes . still, love how he talks about mental health and neuroses in comedy - we need more of that

 

[Ho-Hum Rollerball]

I'm loving Stephen K Amos's new show, it's like he's speaking directly to our souls . His ability to find the humor in everyday life is genius. I mean, who hasn't had a ridiculous encounter with a meat raffle? ️ And his take on social media's impact on our lives is so relatable, it's like he's reading my mind . But what really gets me is how he uses science to explain why we laugh – it's like he's making comedy more cerebral . I'm definitely gonna see him live and experience the laughter for myself!

I went to see Stephen K Amos live last month and oh man it was hilarious! He's got this wicked sense of humor that just catches you off guard, but at the same time he's not afraid to poke fun at himself or make fun of our everyday quirks . I loved how he talks about his parents being super strict when he was growing up - it's crazy how some things don't change, right? And yeah, maybe the accent thing isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I think it adds to his charm . What I really enjoyed was how he delves into the science behind laughter - it's so cool that he's trying to understand what makes us laugh and why . All in all, "Now We're Talking!" is a fun show that's perfect for anyone looking for a good belly laugh .

I'm so excited to see comedians like Stephen K Amos using their platform to tackle real-life issues in a way that's relatable and entertaining! As a parent, I've had my fair share of worrying about my kids growing up with the right values and sense of humor . It's great to see someone using laughter as a way to bridge cultural divides and bring people together . The fact that he's not afraid to poke fun at himself and his own experiences is super inspiring too – I mean who hasn't had a ridiculous childhood experience or two? . Can't wait to catch him live!

I gotta say, I was really looking forward to this show . But honestly, the setlist felt a bit predictable - it was like they were checking off boxes from his previous tours . Don't get me wrong, some of the jokes had me chuckling , but there wasn't anything that genuinely blew my mind. I also wished he'd dug deeper into some of the more pressing issues we face as a society . The "funny-accent" humor thing just didn't land with me either... and yeah, I'm one of those people who thinks it's a bit lazy . Still, if you're a fan of Stephen K Amos, you'll likely have a blast at the show - but for someone like me, it was just okay

 

[Legen]

omg yeah lol so i guess stephen k amos is like the comedy equivalent of a warm hug - he just knows how to make you feel all fuzzy and good inside without actually trying too hard, you know? but honestly who needs innovation when you can just stick with what works right? his "funny-accent" thing might be a bit cringy at times , but hey it's all about relatable observations and shared human experiences, am i right? anyway, if laughter is the best medicine (and let's be real, comedy is basically the best), then stephen k amos is like the doctor we all need

 

[Helpful Hornet]

I'm not sure about this one... I mean, Stephen K Amos is defo funny, but is it really groundbreaking? I think his show feels like a pretty safe, lighthearted romp through modern society . The "funny-accent" thing might be a bit cheesy for some, and while the jokes about his childhood are amusing, they don't exactly break new ground either .

I'm not saying it's all bad, though - Amos is great at poking fun at himself and our quirks as humans. And that part about exploring the science behind laughter? Cool, I guess... But overall, feels like a pretty standard comedy set to me

 

[Panicky Polecat]

Stephen K Amos's show is all about embracing the everyday moments that make us LOL! I love how he pokes fun at his own experiences growing up with Nigerian immigrant parents - it's relatable and hilarious! The way he tackles social media, racism, and modern society with a witty tone is pure gold. And honestly, who doesn't love a good laugh about meat raffles? His exploration of the science behind laughter is actually pretty cool too - I'm intrigued to see how that might inspire other comedians! Overall, "Now We're Talking!" sounds like an absolute blast - if you're looking for some lighthearted fun, this show is definitely worth checking out

Just watched Stephen K Amos's "Now We're Talking!" I gotta say his take on social media is super relatable lol, and that sketch about the meat raffle is hella funny ️ what I love most tho is how he explores the science behind laughter. it's like, we all know why we laugh but this guy breaks it down in a way that's actually interesting has anyone else seen him live?

 

[Nuclear Lacrosse B]

I totally agree with this review , I saw Stephen K Amos live last year and it was literally the most side-splitting experience of my life ! I love how he uses everyday observations to make us laugh, like who hasn't had a frustrating encounter with social media or a dodgy friend? And his bit about meat raffles is CLASSIC . But what really stood out for me was his vulnerability when talking about growing up as a minority kid in the UK - it's like he's speaking directly to my soul .

And yeah, maybe some of us might find the "funny-accent" thing a bit cringy , but that one joke about the Dunning-Kruger effect had me dying laughing . And I love how he delves into the science behind laughter - it's like he's giving us a masterclass in comedy psychology .

What really gets me is how refreshing it is to have a comedian who just wants to make you feel good, without trying to be too edgy or experimental . Stephen K Amos may not be pushing boundaries, but he's definitely making us laugh and think - what more can we ask for?

OMG I'm so down for Stephen K Amos's new tour! I mean, who doesn't love a good laugh? The way he talks about growing up as a Nigerian immigrant in the UK is so relatable and hilarious at the same time. Like, have you ever had to deal with strict curfews or watching TV that was just like "no, no, no"? I'm definitely adding this tour to my bucket list now!

I also love how he explores the science behind laughter - it's so cool to see him break down the psychology of why we find certain things funny. And can we talk about his routine on the meat raffle? I mean, what is that even?! But seriously, have you ever noticed how sometimes our brains just do this weird thing where we overthink something and then suddenly it's hilarious? Like, exactly!

Anyway, I'm curious - has anyone else seen Stephen K Amos live or watched his show? What did you think of his "Now We're Talking!" tour? Should I get tickets ASAP?!
